St. John's Banana Bread

Looking for a tasty treat that's easy to make and a healthy alternative? Look no further than the Duggars' homemade banana bread! Known as St. John's Banana Bread in the Duggar home, this delicious dessert is sure to get rave reviews from any audience.

Thank you for this great recipe - I am so tempted to run straight in the kitchen to see if I have all of the ingredients at hand.It is an honor to watch you and your family on tv - you all are an inspiration!Blessings!

I baked it last night! All in all, it's a very tasty recipe. My tips would be a) it rises a lot, keep in mind and don't put it on the bottom rack of the oven!b) maybe add an extra banana, if so inclined. c) Banana bread is much much tastier after you let it set for a day or so.

This comment is mostly addressed to the poster in australia who has super expensive bananas - but applies to anyone else as well. when they are in season - and the price is down to normal always remember to never toss out bananas when they no longer look good to eat - these make the best banana bread. My mom used to just pop them in a zip top freezer bag and freeze them but I always do as my dad did. My dad used to say - remove it from the peel n mash it up then put it in the bag n date it. This way you already have most of the work done and with them dated you can pick (different parts of the seasons have sweeter bananas) so you can get a good balance. also - try tossing in a few marischino cherries for color and a suprise. My dad always tossed 3 or 4 in - finding that one little sweet bite was fun :)

Fantastic recipe. It's so nice to find a banana bread recipe with very common ingredients. This is my go to recipe when we need a sweet little snack or I need something extra to bring to a family holiday dinner.

@Anonymousyikes, that's a lot of cinnamon haha. I usually use about a tablespoon of cinnamon and half cup of sugar. I'd hate for you to end up like some of those people who do the cinnamon challenge.....(totally kidding).

YUM ! I only wish I could run into the kitchen and bake some ..dieting : ( I thought of you all the other night when we had a young gentleman over from church. He visited with us for quite awhile before asking for permission to "date" our daughter : ) I couldn't help but wonder if maybe he too watched your show LOL! God is good !

Would anyone know why this is called "St John's" banana bread. They aren't Catholic and I don't see any mention of it being John-David's favorite recipe or anything. Just having trouble understanding the name. Thanks!

Add chocolate chips to recipe. Maybe about cup per loaf. You'll never bake another loaf without them again!!! Leave off the cinnamon and sugar - too sweet with the chips. Enjoy - you can then change the name to St. Janet's chocolate/banana bread. Dear God - another "J" name.
